Alpha - Asia (2) - LP - Pre Owned Vinyl (Arrives in 21days)

Asia’s sophomore effort, 'Alpha,' stands as a vivid snapshot of early 80s progressive rock’s evolution into accessible, radio-ready anthems. Formed by members of prog royalty (Yes, King Crimson, ELP), Asia channeled their technical mastery into hooks and harmonies that swept across airwaves and arenas alike. 'Alpha' amplifies the melodic strengths of their debut, with tracks like 'Don’t Cry' and 'The Smile Has Left Your Eyes' blending cinematic synths with John Wetton’s emotive vocals. Rather than resting on the laurels of their past bands, Asia forged a sound that was both grand and approachable—a bridge between progressive excess and pop sensibility. For vinyl enthusiasts, this album is a sonic time capsule: the lush production, sweeping guitars, and layered keys are best experienced in analog warmth. Owning 'Alpha' isn’t just about revisiting the past—it’s about appreciating how a supergroup refined their craft to create music that resonates with both devoted prog fans and lovers of classic rock hooks. If your collection celebrates the crossroads of virtuosity and melodic songwriting, 'Alpha' is a record that demands a prominent place on your shelf.
